go vote!

[totient]

I got a letter the other day from Jack Connolly, Bruce Desmond, and Dennis Sullivan. You may have too, if you live in Somerville, but even (especially) if you don't: These are the three biggest old-school machine politicians left in Somerville government, the ones I'd most like to see defeated every time Aldermanic elections come around. They're endorsing Guy Glodis in the primary election for Auditor, and they're why you should go vote for Suzanne Bump today. These guys -- and Glodis himself -- got where they are by having a machine, and defeating them requires good turnout.

Almost as bad as Verizon FIOS

Glodis had already pissed me off with postal and phone spam before I read up on him. I know that inundating me with glossy, smarmy flyers does not necessarily correlate with "avoid," but sometimes the personal is indeed the political :-).
